Help UCOM Provide Holiday Food for 1,000 Families

It was Christmas and Juan “went into the dining room and stared at the table in amazement…there was more food than he had ever seen! There was a turkey as big as his baby sister. Potatoes piled so high they looked like they might collapse. There was corn on the cob and fresh green beans, a big bowl of stuffing and pumpkin pie!…Juan said, ”Mama is that a miracle?” –Juanito’s Miracle Christmas by Erik Keener

Will you make a Christmas miracle for 1,000 families in our community this year?

Right now United Church Outreach Ministry (UCOM) is registering 1,000 families for holiday meals—Thanksgiving or Christmas. That’s a lot of food. You, your family, your business or church can be a provider of a miracle meal. You can provide a basket of food for a whole dinner (healthy food suggestions are on our website, www.UCOMgr.org); if you can’t find time to shop, UCOM can shop for you—a big family meal + extras costs about $100; or you can provide hams or turkeys to brighten the holiday meal for someone. There are lots of ways to be involved in a miracle holiday for a family that might otherwise have no special celebration on these special days.

Visit UCOM’s website for more information or call 616.240.9616 to talk about ways you can be involved.
